Awlaki Lawsuit Dismissed

Yesterday a judge dismissed Anwar al-Awlaki's father's lawsuit to block the United States from targeting the U.S-born cleric now affiliated with Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.

I'm not a lawyer, and won't pretend to be able to say what this means regarding the legality of America's Drone War against al-Qaeda. Fortunately, American University law professor Kenneth Anderson is an expert on these issues, and comments on the decision at The Volokh Conspiracy.
